Founder, Principal Trainer and Coach
I believe that when anyone decides to dig deep to get to know themselves at the core level, and accept that all they have gone through in life — good and bad — will always be part of the fabric of their lives, they will start to have a lot more freedom, wisdom and strength to navigate Life with.
When people come to me for training and coaching and ask me to ‘fix them’ or ‘take away their past hurt, trauma etc’, I tell them simply ‘There is nothing to fix. Everything that has happened to you has formed the person you are now, and you are your best self for this moment. Let’s work together to get to the next level of your best self together’.
Jarrod Chee
Jarrod brings this philosophy into every one of his training and coaching sessions.
It comes from years of battling his own inner demons and overcoming them.
It comes from his learning to accept that he is good enough despite what he had been conditioned, in his growing up years, to believe.
It comes from walking the path — from blaming the world for his hurts, to taking proactive steps by seeking help from therapists and counsellors — to heal from his past hurts.
He offers the template of his journey to everyone who has worked with him.
It is his utmost commitment to journey with others to find a way back into themselves and reclaim their innate goodness and strengths of their Enneagram Types that fuels his passion for his work every single day.
Career Path
In Education
Before becoming an Enneagram Trainer, Jarrod taught in the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE) primary school system for 6 years.
He then took up a Senior Teacher role in YMCA Education Centre’s English Department, and rose to be Acting Vice-Principal. There, he learnt how to manage his teachers’ curriculum standards, coordinate with the Sales and HR departments to sustain the student intake, as well as get the best teachers into the centre.
Other notable roles include Senior Supervisor in YMCA Student Care Services, where he built the systems and curriculum for two new Student Care Centres (SCC), and Curriculum Specialist and Mentor in LCentral English (Singapore) where he mentored teams of expatriate teachers from England, USA and Canada to teach according to Singapore’s MOE standards.
In the Enneagram
As a result of COVID lockdown in 2021, Jarrod embarked on his Enneagram journey, first as a participant, then as an Enneagram Trainer and coach. Since then, he has helped many individuals find clarity in who they are and how they can relate better to their teammates and loved ones through his training.
His unique blend of infusing lessons and stories from his past to help contextualise the concepts of the Enneagram Framework gives him a relatable and engaging training style, which led to him being asked by Les Amis’ Marketing Team, as well as FLY Entertainment’s CEO Irene Ang, to be their exclusive trainer for their team’s Enneagram trainings, as well as being the first trainer (and by association, Mind Evolve being the first local company) to train the Central Provident Fund (CPF) Board, a Singaporean government statutory board.
When he started Mind Evolve in September 2022, Jarrod’s mission was simple — to provide a safe space for anyone to come find out who they really are at the core level, and reclaim their personal power from a world that constantly tells them to be something else. He knows that with this clarity of self, anyone can help themselves find ways to become confident, self-assured, self-confident and empathetic people, not only for themselves but for the world.
As a Trainer and Coach
Jarrod has been upgrading his training skills since 2021 and is an Advanced Certificate in Learning and Performance (ACLP) certified trainer.
With almost 650 hours of coaching experience, he is now in the process of getting his International Coaching Federation (ICF) Professional Coaching Certificate (PCC) as well.
On top of training programs and coaching sessions, 2025 will see Jarrod flying to the US, as part of Suzanne Stabile’s year-long Enneagram Cohort. Suzanne is an American Enneagram giant with 35 years of Enneagram training experience, and the global community of Enneagram practitioners will come together to share their experience, learn, and continue using this dynamic personality framework to help their communities and the world become better versions of itself.
